Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 (14.5 ounce) cans beef consomme
  • 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed tomato soup
  • 4 carrots, finely chopped
  • 3 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • 4 tablespoons pearl barley
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

Activate the pressure cooker and choose the Saute mode. Heat and stir the beef and onion mixture until it reaches a browned state, taking anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes.

Transfer the mixture into the pressure cooker and pour in the beef consommé, canned tomatoes, water, and tomato soup. Add sliced carrots, chopped celery, cooked barley, dried thyme, and a bay leaf.

Close the lid securely and lock it in place. Choose the Soup function on the pressure cooker and set the timer for 30 minutes. Allow an additional 10 to 15 minutes for the pressure to build up.

Once the cooking time has elapsed, allow the pressure to release naturally according to the manufacturer's guidelines, taking around 10 minutes.
